Just a 'summarization', and, a 're-type' of the original question.
________________
The questionIs there any mechanism to prevent the EU's new "temporary solidarity contribution" from being passed on to electricity customers / causing higher electricity bills ?
- The "solidarity contribution on excess profits" detailed on
https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/IP_22_5489 - In other words, what would prevent "oil, gas, coal and refinery sectors" from raising the price of their products.

The QuestionWill the EU use methods which are non-obvious to households to get money from households ?
- Things like the new charge on fossil-fuel companies, to get money from the households ( instead of from private-companies ) to prevent the economic decline of the EU ?
Explanation of what the result of the non-obvious method I am highlighting may beIn other words, will the EU use non obvious methods, like the "solidarity contribution on excess profits" detailed on
https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/IP_22_5489, which 'may' most likely be passed on to the electric-power-station-companies, which 'may' most likely pass it on to the households/consumers, with the 'majority' of these households/consumers completely bearing the burden of the increase in the electricity-price and not receiving any significant compensation from their government.
Note - Some households, will be compensated, as stated in
https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/IP_22_5489, but you would think that the majority will not be compensated ( or not significantly ).
Or, in other words, since 2020, much of the EU has been surviving on reserve-funds, possibly gradually weakening the EU, will this reach a point where the EU has to regain this money ( FROM 'HOUSEHOLDS', NOT, FROM PRIVATE COMPANIES ), but does not want to do it in an obvious way like raising income-taxes etc, so it may try methods like the above, which in the end only result in the households/consumers replenishing the EU funds.
Obviously the EU does not want to consider directly effective measures like Partial-Nationalization of electricity-companies, for example, Nationalization of the part of the administration of electricity-companies ( or the "oil, gas, coal and refinery sectors" and "renewables, nuclear and lignite" mentioned in
https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/IP_22_5489 ) that issue bills to households/customers, or, change it so that it is the government itself that issues electricity-bills to households ( and maybe Nationalization of specific parts of the hardware infrastructure of electricity-companies ).
